Thats one helluva price for what it is, and for the power you will see.
Get a mantzel powerbox or velos torque tube.
Not better with a chip

Why is it none of these mods come for the 1.2 16v engne?
Would a torque tube fit my car at all?

Doubt ud get an increase from changing the throttle body.
Velos have checked the vacuum on mine with 147bhp and it isn't restricting air at all.

Well easy to fit.
I have a throttle body I will sell for £25 if you want to mod one off the car.
Dont know what gains there would be but every little bit helps....

Slim the butterfly down, but a knife edge on it.
Smooth the entrance to the butterfly, the air intake tube is much bigger than the butterfly. You could ever make a bigger butterfly and fit it if you know what you are doing
